Abstract:
Time-reversal invariance was studied by measuring γ-γ coincidences in 36Cl after the capture of polarized thermal neutrons. The contribution of the time non-invariant amplitude for γ-decay to the total amplitude was determined to be (0.8±2.3) · 10−3, thus indicating no violation of T-invariance.
